New Orleans, La.

The man can’t keep a good musician down in the French Quarter.

Invited to sit in on a jazz session but unable to legally enter a 21-and-up club, an enterprising 18-year-old still found a way to play.

A viral video posted on Facebook by the piano player shows a young trumpeter playing through the window of The Starlight on Nov. 19.

Linda Novak, owner of The Starlight, said the club on St. Louis Street is a fairly new venue in a creole cottage dating back to 1779.
